Xu Danfeng and Wang Liulang were childhood sweethearts who fell in love with each other. However, Xu Danfeng's father, Miao Zhu Xu Banxian, disliked Wang Liulang's tough life, and Wang Liulang often opposed Xu Banxian's pretending to be a ghost in the village to defraud money, and the two often had frictions. Seeing that her father did not agree to her marriage to Wang Liulang, Xu Danfeng decided to elope with Wang Liulang, but she encountered robbers on the way.

The deceased should be Xu Danfeng, but Wang Liulang's body was destroyed, and he could only wait for 49 days before he could resurrect his body. Wang Liulang saw that Xu Danfeng was in the mortal world because he missed him and wanted to die. He couldn't bear it and begged the ghost to let him visit in the mortal world. However, Wang Liulang was neither a human nor a ghost and could not meet Danfeng. He had no choice but to take Liulang to steal the inner elixir of the fox demon, turn into a ghost fairy, and meet Danfeng.

He finally agreed to the marriage between the two at his daughter's plea, but Rokuro had to help him deceive people, and Rokuro reluctantly agreed.

Seeing the deep love between Du Qingfeng and Mingyue, Liulang and Danfeng could not bear to separate the two. They thought that as long as the two of them did not worship, Qingfeng would be fine, so they lied to Qingfeng on the day of the church that Danfeng liked him. He was about to commit suicide, but Qingfeng rushed to stop him, which delayed his visit to the church. Mingyue knew that she accidentally killed Qingfeng in her heartbreak. As long as Qingfeng walked through the Yin and Yang world, Liulang could be reborn, but Liulang couldn't bear it and stopped Qingfeng, and Qingfeng could be reborn.
